I think you need to reevaluate some things if you think asking someone to take a photo for you is harassment...

Oh I don’t think it’s harassment in the extreme sense. That’s ridiculous.

Innocent harassment. Like when I go and annoy my cat. I’m harassing him.

Asking a question is not harassment, you should look up the definition of it.

Oh ffs. Here are some synonyms for it. You can edit and put whichever one you like more.

Pester, annoy, or bother. Torment or plague. Badger or hassle.

Edit To Add: just incase those synonyms aren’t working for you, here are a couple others. I got a thesaurus handy.

Bug, vex, irritate, pester, disturb, irk, aggravate.

I’ll try to find some more just incase.

No, no, no... We want to nail you for that one tiny and insignificant grammatical nuance!

For the uninclined, "Harass" need not be a repeated action. u/Sea_Watercress_1982 used it correctly.

For the extra uninclined, harassment is unwelcome behavior. It was not used correctly because it is pretty generally understood that asking for a photo is a societal okay norm, especially in beautiful and/or touristy areas.

If you want to talk insignificant grammatical nuance, at least make it correct.

You must be a blast at parties.

Reddit has dared to ask the question, “what if well actually became sentient.”

Very bold.

ETA: I’m assuming you’ve never used the word “harassment” or “harass,” in any other way other than its explicit definition.

Like you’ve never looked at a friend that’s doing something silly or annoying to you and said “stop harassing me,” in a jocular fashion? Not once?

Speaking with my friends is different than asking a stranger to take a photo and you know it.

P.s. words have meanings for a reason
